Values, Failures, Mission Statement

Good evening! How are you? Are you doing alright after the pandemic and with all the chaos going on in the world? Are you doing alright with your work load or with the topics you are studying?

You know...this blog was generally centered around various aspects of my days throughout college, events I hosted with others, or what I found cool. However, it didn't allow much in the ways of getting to see your perspectives and such.

And for that, I apologize. I did want to share with you some things. My content, projects and such were also a space for me to showcase the values that I held and not just cutely decorated nails, convention coverage and Jfashion trends. I thought that I was getting the message across and being open and accepting to the people around me despite the differences.

Looking back,one of the things I failed at was that I saw that I was NOT typing or verbally expressing them like I should in moments that occured. Redirecting conversations and not adding in comments is great, however, I did not fully get the message across. This caused a lot of misinterpretiations in and out of relationships with new acquantances and that can and possibly did reach others before they spoke with me which caused 2 things:

1. Me not being able to share my side or question the validity of what was said.

2. Not given the chance to apologize and talk it out with the persons who I seemed to offend who did not want to tell me but to broadcast it to others despite me having a policy of talking things out for clarification and improving relations.

A few more failures:

Not clarifying what I wanted in my relationships boundary wise; personal and professional, led to a lot of failures. Not stating who was actually a PR Person or not and the stance for my content and brand with them. Overlooking conflict in my personal/private relationship that I did not tend to in a timely manner which affected a multitude of connections. Not considering what a competitor told me; "You can't build a business with "friends"", and not questioning what they meant and how it would affect the projects I was collaborating on.

This has all been an interesting journey.
